Bill > A01353

This bill amends the legislative law to require that when a new bill establishes a commission, task force, board, council, or similar body with legislatively appointed members, each of the four legislative leaders (the temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, the minority leader of the senate, and the minority leader of the assembly) must be allowed to appoint at least one member to that body. The purpose of this legislation appears to be ensuring broader representation and input from different legislative perspectives when new governing or advisory bodies are created. By mandating that each legislative leader has an appointment, the bill seeks to promote more inclusive and balanced composition of newly established legislative commissions or similar groups. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
